Are you the pastor or leader of an independent or unaffiliated Apostolic church in Pakistan? You do not have to labor alone. The Pakistan District Council welcomes Apostolic pastors and churches who desire to become part of a growing fellowship committed to biblical truth, spiritual accountability, Christian fellowship, leadership development, evangelism, and the advancement of the Gospel throughout Pakistan.
Many pastors have faithfully built churches, served communities, preached the Gospel, and carried the burden of ministry without the support of a larger Apostolic organization. You have labored with dedication — and that labor is honored. The Pakistan District Council exists to bring pastors and churches together in meaningful Apostolic fellowship, not to replace what God has built through you, but to surround it with support.
Connecting your local assembly with a wider body of believers while strengthening the relationships, accountability, resources, and fellowship available to you as a pastor. One Lord. One Gospel. One Apostolic Mission.
You are not being asked to abandon your ministry, your congregation, or the burden God placed on your heart. You are being invited to connect it, strengthen it, and help advance the work together with others who share the Apostolic mission.
The Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc. traces its history to 1906 and has grown into one of the world's most established international Apostolic fellowships. Its mission is to glorify God, obey the Great Commission, proclaim the Gospel in its fullness, and equip and deploy people and resources globally to reach the lost.

Carrying that global mission forward on the ground across Pakistan.
Affiliation provides more than a name or organizational identity. It places pastors and congregations within a fellowship where relationships are built, leaders are strengthened, churches cooperate, and the Apostolic mission advances — together. The PAW's current leadership vision specifically emphasizes stronger councils as centers of growth, connection, unity, leadership development, and support.
Build relationships with pastors and churches throughout Pakistan who share a common spiritual mission and Apostolic conviction.
Become connected to regional and diocesan leadership committed to strengthening local pastors and their congregations.

Become part of the larger mission and fellowship of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, connecting Pakistan to a worldwide Apostolic body.

This invitation is specifically intended for pastors and churches in Pakistan who recognize themselves in the following description. Read each point prayerfully — this fellowship is designed for those who are ready to walk together with intention and integrity.
Your church is not presently affiliated with the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World or another Apostolic organization.
Your leadership desires to identify with and uphold the Apostolic doctrine, biblical principles, and spiritual standards of the PAW.
You desire relationship with other pastors and churches rather than ministering in isolation from the broader Apostolic body.
You understand that healthy fellowship includes spiritual leadership, good order, integrity, communication, and mutual accountability.
You share the burden to reach the lost, make disciples, strengthen churches, and carry the Gospel throughout Pakistan.
You desire not only to receive from the fellowship but also to contribute your gifts, experience, leadership, and ministry to the greater work of the Council.
Organizational fellowship must have a spiritual foundation. The Pentecostal Assemblies of the World exists to proclaim Jesus Christ, uphold biblical truth, encourage Spirit-filled Christian living, reach the lost, strengthen believers, and prepare the Church for the coming of the Lord. Fellowship begins with agreement — and we want every pastor to understand clearly what we believe and how we live it.
PAW Pakistan mission reports document baptisms in Jesus' name, believers receiving the Holy Ghost, Apostolic teaching conferences, and orientation of pastors in PAW doctrine and practice. This is not theory — it is a living, growing movement.
Churches seeking affiliation should be prepared to participate in orientation concerning the doctrine, governance, expectations, and fellowship of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World and the Pakistan District Council.
The path to joining the Pakistan District Council is straightforward and pastor-centered. Each step is designed to ensure that you understand the fellowship fully and that the fellowship understands your church. The first step is simply letting us know you are interested.
Tell us about your church and your desire to become connected with the Pakistan District Council. There is no obligation at this stage.
Complete the official Church / Pastoral Affiliation Application and provide the requested information concerning your church and ministry.
A representative of the Pakistan District Council will connect with you personally concerning your interest and the next appropriate steps.
Prospective pastors and leaders receive orientation in the history, Apostolic identity, structure, expectations, and ministry of the PAW and Pakistan District Council.
Your application and affiliation request proceeds through the appropriate Pakistan District Council review process with care and integrity.
Following completion of the process and approval, your pastor and congregation are formally welcomed into fellowship with the Pakistan District Council.
You have prayed. You have preached. You have served your congregation and carried the burden of ministry. Now there is an opportunity to connect with a growing Apostolic fellowship that shares your burden for Pakistan. You do not have to labor alone.
